Andy Rubin attended Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, NY Fact|date=November 2007. Rubin started as an engineer at Apple Inc.. He later worked at a spin-off General Magic, where he participated in developing Magic Cap, an operating system and interface for hand-held devices. When Magic Cap failed, Rubin joined Artemis Research, founded by Steve Perlman, which became WebTV and was eventually acquired by Microsoft. After several years, Rubin left to found Danger, Inc with Matt Hershenson and Joe Britt, which was later also acquired by Microsoft in February, 2008.
